Sikhs Fighting for India’s Freedom

Carrying the Tricolor Flag with the emblem of the Leaping Tiger on it and with the slogan, “Chalo Delhi” (on to Delhi) on the lips, from the battlefields of Asia and of Europe, it [the I.N.A] burst out on the Indian scene like an avalanche overwhelming all and everyone causing a revolutionary and emotional upheaval turning and churning the very depths of the national soul, sparing not even the Indian Armed Forces of the British the very means of keeping India enslaved.

They recovered their national conscience. The soul of India became free. The people could no longer tolerate the foreign rule.

The story of the I.N.A. is a legend in itself. Its historical evidence shows that never, never in the long history of man and war did a people in exile raise an army so big in order to liberate their country from a foreign rule.
